Content Services

I am very unhappy with Cell C at the moment. I have had this account for more than two decades. I noticed I was being charged for content services. I had no idea what content services was. I just took it as part of the charges. Eventually I decided to contact Cell C to find out exactly what I was paying for. To my horror, it is this R5 things which I have absolutely no use for. The content services was added to my account without my knowledge and permission. If Cell C goes into my account none of the content services was used and each month it was an exact amount of R173. First time I called, I was told this matter would be referred to the back office, second time I cant even remember what I was told and third time I was told Cell C does not reimburse money from content services. I was given a number and had to cancel content services myself. Content services had amounted to more than three thousand rand. R173 had been added to my account for almost two years. I had to contact the content provider, who reimbursed me for a couple of months but it was less than a thousand rand compared to the more than three thousand rand that was deducted from my account without my permission. I am retired and cannot afford to pay for services I did not request nor use. I need t have the monies that was deducted for content services reimbursed. I have been taking this up with Cell C since last year around September. Now when I sent an email, I get the automated response email, but nobody takes it up with me. Cell C deducted this monies from my account and I am expecting them to get my money back for me. I am sorry I renewed my contract with them last year and will not encourage anybody to take out a contract with Cell C. I am sure there are other customers out there that are being charged for content services and not even aware of it. So people check your accounts.

My feedback after the above review.
I was called back the same day by Phimzile from Cell C Social Media. She called again on Friday, 29th Feb and said she would call me back with a resolution on Monday 4th March 2024. It is a week later 11th March and I haven't heard from her so still no resolution found.
I checked my Cell C latest statement and found that I have called myself seven times. There is no record of that on my phone. This is not the first time I find a discrepancy on my billing. Is there other Cell C customers who has come across this. I know we trust and this is what I have been doing, but Cell C cannot be trusted. As soon as I am able to cancel this contract, which may I add, I have had for more than two decades, I will be cancelling this contract

Phumzile from Cell C social media called me last week 11 March soon after I posted on hellopeter. That is the only time I get contacted. After I post on social media. Phumzile response was I should log onto a website to claim the rest of my money back. I told her to send me the details via email. I am still waiting. I get the feeling Cell C wants me to forget the whole thing, which I am not prepared to do.
Still waiting on the response about me making seven calls to myself according my monthly statement.

Now if I need to log onto the WASP, and as per telephone conversation with Phimzile, where I asked her to email me the instructions, which was never mailed to me. WHY.
If there is anybody out there that can advise me on how to get my money back from Cell C, please advise. I am getting tired of this up and down and not getting a resolution.
PLEASE SOMEBODY WHERE CAN I GO TO FROM HERE. DESPERATE.
